Interface GMLCoordinates

All Known Implementing Classes:

GMLCoordinates_Impl

public interface GMLCoordinates

As an alternative to the sequence of <coords>, coordinates can also be conveyed by a single string. By default the coordinates in a tuple are separated by commas, and successive tuples are separated by a space character (#x20). While these delimiters are specified by several attributes, a user is free to define a localized coordinates list that is derived by restriction from gml:CoordinatesType. An instance document could then employ the xsi:type attribute to substitute the localized coordinates list wherever a element is expected; such a subtype could employ other delimiters to reflect local usage.

It is expected that a specialized client application will extract and validate string content, as these functions will not be performed by a general XML parser. The formatting attributes will assume their default values if they are not specified for a particular instance; the <coordinates> element must conform to the XML Schema fragments.
